Reaction Steps

D2 (200 mg) and NCS (65 mg) were dissolved in DCM (5 ml) and stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between DCM and H2O. The DCM solution was evaporated to dryness and purified on a Biotage silica cartridge, eluting with a 25-75% mixture of diethyl ether in hexane. This gave the title compound (36 mg) as a brown solid. A second batch of the title compound was also obtained from this purification (86 mg) as a brown solid. δH (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 7.28 (1H, m), 7.45-7.54 (6H, m), 7.93 (1H, s), 8.05 (1H, d), 8.28 (1H, br s), 8.49 (1H, s). MS (ES): C21H11ClF3N3OS requires 445; found 444 (M−H+).
